They also want to include a \u20ac35million option to buy, which will be an obligation if specific conditions are met.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Even with Chelsea&#8217;s willingness to get rid of Garnacho, that arrangement may not work for the Club World Cup champions, as they reportedly value him at around \u00a343 million and would prefer a permanent sale.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Roma are desperate to strengthen their squad for next season after they secured a return to the Champions League.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">After tying down Paulo Dybala to a new contract, they have initiated discussions for Netherlands international Crysencio Summerville &#8211; who is a target for many clubs after suffering relegation from the Premier League with West Ham.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">As per Alfredo Pedulla, Roma have informed West Ham chiefs that they will not pay more than \u20ac40m for the Dutchman and are only prepared to pay him a maximum salary of \u20ac4 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Another option Roma are exploring is Strasbourg&#8217;s Diego Moreira.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">21-year-old Moreira, who played for Belgium at the World Cup, is represented by super agent Jorge Mendes and he is working on finding him a new club.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Chelsea partner club Strasbourg want around \u20ac50 million for Moreira, but Roma&#8217;s first offer is for \u20ac30 million as well as 10% of any future sale.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Garnacho&#8217;s move to Chelsea was recorded as pure profit under the Premier League&#8217;s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) because he had joined the club&#8217;s academy from Atletico Madrid for just \u00a3100,000 back in 2020.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Although the fee was questioned by some, United inserted a 10% sell-on fee in the deal and stands to benefit if Garnacho does secure a permanent move away from Chelsea this summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roma have tabled a first offer for Alejandro Garnacho after he was made surplus to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17423,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17422","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chelsea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17422","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=17422"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17422\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/17423"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=17422"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=17422"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=17422"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
